[js][m]: refactor factletsearch_controller and threadfactlets_controller to be views.

• Create new BaseControlsView? class for them to inherit from copying over delegator stuff from Nick's existing Controller class.
• All tests seem to be passing.

[data][s]: move microfacts/tests/data to microfacts/data so data can be used running tests/init.py (which overrides config setup!).

[snip] Fixed :) I've also added a long spiel on the front page trying to explain (better) what we are trying to do with Open Shakespeare like stuff. Any suggestions on a) improvements to this b) communities who might be interested but probably don't know about the project yet (e.g. academics ...) would be most welcome. Regards, Rufus

[shakespeare/templates][s]: rewrite/add to front page to have a 'Why' section (thanks Sasha!) + fix heading in Guide.

[shakespeare/templates][s]: fix up link to text stats from index and link text stats to word stats.

It's very nice, isn't it! :-) (On the Guide page, the stats section heading is Search. I wondered: should this be Stats or Statistics or something like that?) Best wishes, John.

Go to hear Peter! I've now gone ahead and done the update and things now look rather different: Main new features are the search facility: And the statistics section which supports showing stats by text of by word, e.g. love and death: Or by text e.g. Hamlet: There's quite a bit of polishing still to do (some examples are given below) so if you'd like to help out please say :) Regards, Rufus Prospective Improvements ======================== * We need to finish off proof-editing the scan of the EB 11 entry for Shakespeare: * * We need to 'mark-up' underlying texts both for display and search indexing purposes * The search side of things needs: * pagination support for results

Dear all, Herewith a few assorted bits... 1. See for info on a free workshop focusing on how best to take advantage of the UK Freedom of Information Act and related instruments. Detailed programme and registration at the link. Looks very worthwhile. 9 Sept, 10am-4pm, Royal Inst. of Public Health. 2. Major plaudits to Iain and Rufus for their work on Open Shakespeare/Milton. While I don't know the first thing about Xapian, I do know that I'm excited to see this maturing into an extensible model. I'm following progress on the lists, lurk-style... 3. Speaking of which: Apologies for my catatonic status of late--my thesis beckons, and beckons again. Best to all, Nate

[shakespeare/templates][xs]: fix up text index to include links to stats.

[shakespeare/stats][s]: bugfixes to stats WUI to get it looking nice and word chart working.

[shakespeare/cli][xs]: minor bugfix to search command which was using old add_item syntax.

[shakespeare/templates][s]: minor touch-ups to front page.

[shakespeare/misc][m]: fix up config registration, make associated changes to cli.py and move all tests to shakespeare/tests.

• config setup:
  • conf() in init was confusing, out of date, and was magically defaulting to 'development.ini'
  • added new register_config and refactor conf to just look the config up
• cli.py: refactored to take account of this adding new --config option to shakespeare-admin
• tests: move all tests into shakespeare/tests so that config is properly set up for them

[shakespeare/stats][m]: substantial improvements to stats in both core and WUI.

• Add word stats support in both core and in WUI
• Improve tests to catch bug with existing text stats
• Other WUI improvements e.g. to deal with non-existent texts, and provide an index page
• TODO: word index page

Milton package texts

RDFa included into templates - DOAP doesn't appear in operator

Hi Michael, Many thanks for this. I've forwarded it to our discuss list. Its looks like a great resource! Best wishes and keep in touch, Jonathan

[js/vendor][s]: as per previous commit.

[js/vendor][s]: start removing unneeded openlayers stuff.

[shakespeare/shksprdata][s]: start moving shakespeare specific stuff into shksprdata by moving moby.py across (moby.py just downloads the moby texts).

[shakespeare/misc][s]: remove concordance.py and all references and tidy up guide WUI page.

[js][m]: more work on threadfactlets_controller (test esp.) plus created factletsearch_controller and added support for handling append click event.

[thread][xs]: minor fix up to thread update template to clean up factlet search results section.

Adding tests for geochrono page controller. Refactored views and page controller into 'moovc'.

[model][m]: add image, source and license attributes to factlet and license attribute to thread. As yet have not extended support (or tests) for these new items to WUI.

[templates][s]: add buttons back into front page.

[js][m]: cache a copy of yuiloader in repository and update all links to point to this local copy. This ensures no dependency on net for development :).

[thread][xs]: fix typo in previous commit (r174) which caused bug.

[thread][s]: fix up thread layout template to set payload js vars to null if no values defined by python code + get thread search working together with an extra test.

Hi, Iain Emsley have been working away on Open Shakespeare/Milton related things over the last few months and we have now completed a fair number of major improvements with more to come in the near future. In particular we now have implemented: * Major refactoring of internal code to be cleaner and simpler * A new cleaner and reorganized web interface * Search support via Xapian * Statistical analysis and graphing Even more importantly Iain's work on the Milton side of things has indicated the need for us to try to factor out a reusable core which can then be plugged together with particular sets of texts to form individual Open Shakespeare, Open Milton, Open etc instances (for anyone interested most of the discussion about this has been on okfn-help, sign up or browser at http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-help/ In the mean-time I plan to upgrade the current online Open Shakespeare service (which runs off the web interface part of the shakespeare package) which currently l

[js/tests][m]: fair way through a new jsspec test of threadfactlets_controller.

Fixed geochrono page to be good.

[js/thread-update][l]: factlet search widget now functional (though no adding to thread yet).

[modes][m]: link in SearchQueryBuilder? work from last week into actual modes search and refactor tests to take account of new (simpler) query string syntax.

Thought this might be of interest: http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/19/1316227&from=rss Jonathan

Adding geochrono page.

Fixed broken test.

[tests/data][s]: update all data to use geojson long/lat convention rather than current lat/long convention.
